Meanwhile, the Straw Hat Pirates went to Level 1 of Solaris as they went into a hotel with the treasure they have stolen from the Gebler.

"This is where we should be staying for our adventure here," Luffy said as he is reading on his bed.

"Same here," Usopp also rested.

In fact, they're all sharing a penthouse apartment. Sanji is cooking up lunch for them to eat while Zoro is taking a walk to Solaris, usually with him getting lost. Brook is reading a magazine about girls in Solaris, especially with their Gebler uniforms. As for Franky, Usopp, Chopper, they're exploring the city.


Coincidentally, Nami, Robin, and Elly went out to do shopping together when a man with a red beard shows up in front of them.

"Are you three going shopping?" he asked.

"Renz..." Elly muttered.

"Who are you?" Nami asked with disdain.

"My name is Renz, and I'm one of the members of your friend's squad," was the reply.

"One of Elly's squadmates, huh? One of those mechas who ran away when I beat her up?"

"Yup, that's the one."

"Well, isn't this an unexpected twist?" Robin commented.

"Elly, can I talk to your friend here?" Renz asked his leader.

"Um, sure," was the reply.

Renz leads her by the alley of the city as his chat with the pirate begins.

"So, what do you want, Renz?" Nami asked. "Are you here to take revenge on me for beating up your leader?"

"No, I won't. I don't believe in revenge, anyway," the man replied as he holds up a wanted poster that has her picture. "So you're 'Cat Burglar' Nami, and you happen to be Elly's childhood friend."

"So what?"

"Like I said, I'm not going to do anything to you. To think you managed to hit her mecha, Vierge, with that weapon of yours. What is it?"

"It's the Perfect Clima-Tact, and with it, I can make weather."

"I see... Anyway, I'm not going to turn you in to the Gebler soldiers, especially when your captain just raised the alarm when he and his crew are stealing our treasure."

Hearing this statement just made Nami want to see them, especially with the treasure they just stole.

"I know you want to see this treasure," Renz can read what he sees in her eyes. "However, it's too dangerous to be in a large group, so I would keep an eye on them."

"Good, and make sure they don't spend all my treasure," Nami instructed.

"I will," was the reply before he left.


In the meantime, Brook is walking his way towards the city as he takes notice on a Solarian woman.

"Hey, my lady."

"Huh?" the woman asked.

"Can I see your panties?" the skeleton asked.

"Aah! A skeleton!" she runs away.

"Hey, that's one of the Straw Hats who break into our vault and stole our treasure!" one of the Gebler soldiers exclaimed within a group.

"Get him!" the other yelled.

They inject the 'Drive' on themselves while charging to them.

"So they used the 'Drive' on themselves to fight me. Well, they should know that drugs are bad," Brook pulls out his Soul Solid blade and slashes on them. "Three-Verse Humming: Arrow-Notch Slash!"

At first, they didn't feel the pain, but as soon as he sheathes the blade back, they feel the pain from being slashed and falls down the ground.

"Remember, Geblers, the 'Drive' is bad for your mind."

Brook continues his walk afterwards while swinging his cane in a circle.
